I've been loved in many ways by many people, whom I've known, met, or just come across, whether directly or indirectly. That's what I believe. No matter how small or how little it might mean, how long it lasted or even just a brief moment, it still has a significant impact in my life.
All types of love exist. Whether one can accept it or not, is another matter. Everybody ( I believe ) longs for love, to be loved, and to love another in return.
A child yearning for parental love,
Parent's loving their child(s) unconditionally,
Partner's devoted love,
Family & relative's caring love,
Friendship's love,
and others, here and there...
I feel grateful, happy and lucky, to have been loved, to be loved, & still being loved.
I personally feel, LOVE makes one grow, feels strong (emotionally), confident, passionate, & a sense of security and belonging. When you feel that you're not alone, you'll be able to do amazing things in your life.
What happens when a love has been scarred? I don't have an ultimate answer to that. But I guess it's times like these, it would be best to move on with ones own life.
All types of love are all around us. Don't stop loving.

My CNY & Valentines
First of all, Happy Roaring New Year & a Lovely Valentines to everyone (belated Valentines that is). But who's counting, everyday can be Valentines if one wants it to be.
I managed to spend my CNY eve night / CNY morning a little differently this year. I've never really been out of the house much previous years (actually, almost never out from the house..literally) This year however, managed to look see at some pretty sights and a different experience.
Visited the Penang Buddhist Association temple, lotsa bright lights, praying and stuffs. The beautification of the temple looks amazing. Much different from what I remembered (some 12-13 yrs ago. The buddha tree looks as big and tall as ever. I quite like the leaves, cos of its shape and appearance. And one particular tree which my friend showed me, actually had a "face" on it, the branches stretched out, bench like for ppl to sit on type. When I first looked at it, it kinda looked weird with the face, but after that, I think the face gradually kinda looked like it was smiling. (imagination / mirage ?)
After that, went to another small like temple (house converted cum temple), they were having the lion / dragon dance performances. The drum beat kinda made my heart beat even more (LOL! chi kek-ness...but a bit too much for me to bear. Was kinda tiring) Have been a long time since I've last watched performances up close.
Along the way, people were playing with fireworks. Shot after shot of colourful fireworks lit up the night sky. (Goes to show how rare I've looked out of my own window to see such things)
Anyway, it's been a fun & pleasant experience CNY for me this year so far. Hopefully more good stuffs to come. *Rawwwr* LOL!

New Experience
Who would've thought that helping and "saving" people would be such an experience. It really requires so much effort, patience, team work and focus.
This year's Thaipusam is my first (and probably THE only Thaipusam I've ever been to for the past 29 yrs). There's so much mixture of feelings and thoughts, but mostly a satisfying feeling I guess.
I've never really helped nor "saved" people before, as in actually applying actual first aid / medical knowledge. And being away from it for the past 10 yrs or so ain't helping much either. So, in a way, I'm considered totally "new" to it.
It was really a great experience to work alongside my friends, and some great doctors during that day. Who willingly shared their knowledge and guided me through some hands-on-experiences.
Thank you everyone, for making my "new" experience such an unforgetable and somewhat enjoyable one. (Luckily I didn't have to repeatedly climb up and down few hundred flights of stairs) The tophill view was remarkable.
Oh yea, thanks to some youth's (SXI guys) for the "peacock" debate. I had such a great laugh about it. Time to start watching more animal planet / national geographic eh ?
My mom's quote / question of the day : Who rules the world?
Answer : The hand that rocks the cradle (WOMEN!!!)
